At the same time, Hu Zhen, who came from later generations, of course, had a deep understanding of snipers, and he ordered the selection of 50 soldiers with great shooting talent to form a sniper training team for strict sniper training.

Of course, Hu Zhen also knew the role of special operations methods in jungle operations, and specially set up a special combat team, and after strict selection, 30 fighters with first-class physical fitness, skills, and reaction ability were finally selected.

Cui Jinfeng, an international student from the German University, served as the captain, and Ma Shaohao, who was very familiar with the jungles of Borneo, served as the deputy captain, responsible for reconnaissance, interspersed with infiltration, destroying enemy leaders, attacking key targets and other special combat tasks.

In order to provide medical support for the troops and ensure the care of the war wounded, Wei Yaohua also arranged for Wei Yaohua to select 60 soldiers with a certain foundation to form a medical team to learn the basics of medicine, nursing, pharmacology, traditional Chinese medicine, and other knowledge.

Hu Zhen was so busy that his butt smoked every day, and in addition to teaching the soldiers cultural knowledge, he also carried out hard military skills training.

Driven by this atmosphere, even Chen Qishan's brother Zhao Xiaoliu experienced a life and death test in the siege battle, and realized that in this troubled era, there must be life-saving skills, so he humbly asked everyone for advice, and after a period of hard training, not only shooting skills have made great progress, but even fighting skills have also made some progress.

In addition, in order to maintain the armament and produce weapons and equipment in the future, Hu Zhen also arranged for more than 700 technicians and workers to be brought back from Europe and Singapore, and stepped up their study and upgrading of technical skills, so as to prepare for the establishment of an arsenal for large-scale production of weapons and ammunition in the future.

When Hu Zhen communicated with people who had lived in Borneo for a long time, he had an unexpected harvest and found that there were nearly 100 soldiers who had studied in schools run by Dutch colonists and had a certain knowledge of modern chemistry, physics and mathematics.

What's even more exciting is that it was discovered that there were several employees who had worked in the iron and steel plant and arsenal of the Republic of Lanfang, so it became known that the Republic of Lanfang not only had an iron and steel factory, but also established an arsenal for the production of guns and ammunition.

Is there a steel plant in the Republic of Lanfang? And the arsenal?

This was a surprise for Hu Zhen, and the information he found did not say that there were steel factories and arsenals in the Lanfang Republic. Maybe after the fall of the Lanfang Republic, all the elites died, walked away, and did not leave a single record, and the future world history has never recorded that the Lanfang Republic has had a grand plan for industrial development!

Overjoyed, Hu Zhen immediately ordered all these personnel to gather together to form a repair team to teach the basic knowledge of machinery and the repair and production of various guns and explosives, so as to prepare for future development needs.

Under the guidance of Hu Zhen's advanced knowledge and methods ahead of the times, all the personnel trained hard for many days, and not only their physique and combat skills, but even their vision and knowledge were qualitatively improved.

However, in training, Hu Zhen also found a lot of problems.

Almost all the soldiers of the Huaxia Army wore a braided hair on their heads, which was very unhygienic. Borneo has a tropical climate, and when you exercise, you will be covered in sweat, and the training of the Predators is very large, and you don't know how much sweat you have to shed in a day. Washing braids is a very troublesome thing, it takes at least half an hour to disassemble the braids, wash them, and then braid them. As a result, most people have lice in their braids, and almost everyone has to tickle their heads with their hands as soon as they stop training.

The most terrible thing is that it is foreseeable that in the future hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, the braid will be a fatal burden, this is an excellent attack part for the enemy, as long as the enemy pulls the braid, the neck is completely likely to be pulled alive.

After a few days of training, Liang Kunri, who had cut off his braids as early as in the German ** school, began to scold and suggest that everyone cut off their braids. Later, even the taciturn Su Wenzhen proposed that everyone cut off their braids, but most people opposed cutting them immediately.

Hu Zhen was extremely disgusted with this kind of braid, and he couldn't understand why the Manchu ancestors had to make such a very inconvenient pig's tail when they lived in the Tunguska wasteland. But he understood that although these Chinese in Borneo were far away from mainland China, everyone wanted to return to their homeland one day, and if they cut off their braids, they were afraid that the Manchu regime would not allow them to set foot on their homeland. If you cut off the braid now, maybe the Huaxia army will break up, and it will take an opportunity or a process to cut off the pig's tail on the head and in the heart.

Another problem is that most of these soldiers are old and coarse, with a poor cultural foundation, and they can barely get by learning to write a little Chinese characters, and they are really not very interested in learning cultural knowledge such as pinyin, mathematics, physics, and chemistry that they have never seen before. Although a mandatory plan was formulated that everyone must learn, the effect was unsatisfactory, and Hu Zhen was helpless, so he could only hope that it would slowly and imperceptibly make these old men learn more.

Another problem is the shortage of bullets and food.

In the training, everyone was in a hurry, hoping that their shooting skills would be greatly improved, and they would conduct live-fire training like a competition, but fortunately, Hu Zhen ordered 10 million bullets from Germany and moved them all from the ship to Qingyan Village, Hu Zhen ordered someone to notify Zhang Suan in Germany by telegram, and immediately ordered another 30 million rounds of ammunition and 300,000 shells, and it was necessary to ensure that the Huaxia Army had enough ammunition to use at all times.

In the middle of the night, Hu Zhen quietly ran to the beach, called the nuclear submarine that had followed him to the offshore waters, and sent a batch of raw materials, including 5,000 newly processed rifles, 500 light machine guns, 5,000 pistols, 100 sniper rifles, 100 heavy machine guns, 50 mortars, 50 recoilless guns, and antibiotics.

As for food, fortunately this is a tropical area, in the vast jungle, there are wild fruits and vegetables everywhere, and some plant roots, stems and leaves can fill the stomach although it is unpalatable, so as long as you do it yourself, Hu Zhen believes that with the expansion of his base, it is not difficult to solve the problem of filling the stomach.

The last problem is one that is difficult to control.

It turned out that since the Republic of Lanfang was controlled by the Dutch, the Chinese people here have lost their shelter, and almost everyone has relatives and friends who are either killed by the passive Dutch colonial army, or by the natives or bandits.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Huaxia Army, some people proposed to choose to attack the Dutch colonial army or indigenous bandits, but Hu Zhen suppressed them on the grounds that the soldiers were not well trained. However, when the training plan was carried out to a certain extent, when the training had made some progress, this kind of impatience and commotion became more and more intense, and many people seemed a little absent-minded during training, and finally developed to the point that some squad and platoon leaders occasionally complained.

When the training was on the 89th day, there were still 11 days left before the end of the 100-day training program, and due to an unexpected circumstance, the original training program could no longer be carried out.
